With the clock ticking for the 2024 election, many Democrats in the Senate are urgently calling on President Joe Biden to allow millions of illegal aliens currently living in the United States to become citizens straightaway, that way they can all legally vote this fall.
All illegals with no criminal history – besides breaking into the country, of course – should be immediately granted amnesty, 20 U.S. senators claim, because these illegals have a lot to contribute to the country, including casting their votes for Democrats.
Listed among the 20 senators are usual suspects like Sens. John Fetterman (D-Penn.), Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
The 20 senators crafted a joint letter to Biden explaining all the economic contributions that these millions of illegals will supposedly make once granted citizenship at warp speed.
The letter also contains numerous recommendations for Biden to follow, one of which involves signing an executive order (EO) to allow illegal spouses of U.S. citizens to work during their green card application process, as well as creating a more streamlined process for DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) recipients to gain non-immigrant status.
"Deporting all such individuals – as former President Donald Trump has threatened to do if reelected – would devastate the American economy and destroy American families," the senators further wrote in their letter.

They're already here, so Democrats want to legalize them
According to the senators, illegals contributed nearly $10 billion in federal and state taxes in 2019 alone, as well as more than $11 billion in social security contributions.
"Over 1.1 million U.S. citizens are married to an undocumented immigrant, and roughly 4.9 million U.S. citizen children have at least one undocumented parent," the letter further states.
According to the senators, legalizing all these millions of illegals is a great way to "protect and unify American families," especially in cases where an illegal lives with or is married to someone who is legal.
"The more than 1.1 million undocumented spouses married to a U.S. citizen have lived in the U.S. on average 16 years, and many have been married to their U.S. citizen spouses for at least a decade," the letter reads.
"Yet, these families live in fear that they may be separated from their loved one due to deportation, and often forgo much needed health care and decline to report crimes due to their immigration status. The fear of deportation has also been associated with psychological stress linked to an increased risk of chronic disease for children with an undocumented family member."
In no uncertain terms, the letter declares that America's immigration system as it currently exists is "outdated." It needs to be updated, they say, in order to allow illegals to stay rather than be deported back to their home countries.
"We appreciate your careful consideration of these recommendations and all available options to provide much needed relief for undocumented immigrants and the American businesses, families and communities that rely upon them," the letter concludes in petition of Biden's full and immediate support.
The other signatories of the letter include:
Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.)
Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.)
Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.)
